Summary

Monastic agreement and rules. The original agreement and rules (f. 1r-10v) were written in 1539 (f. 1r) and are followed by official approval by Marianus Tuccius (in Latin) and signed by the notary Pietro Berni (written "Brnus"; f. 10v). Folios 10v-15r contain additional agreements extending to the year 1717. This is really a form of agreement as to the rules that the community should observe. There are also later additions on f. 54r-54v (mention of an earthquake) and 73r-76v. The two unnumbered folios before f. 1 (one parchment and one paper) and the unnumbered folio after f. 76 (parchment) contain poems in honor of the Blessed Virgin and St. Egidius. Folios 16-53 and 55-72 are blank.

Notes

Ms. codex.

Title and statement of responsibility from title page (f. 1r); title on spine label largely peeled off and hard to read.

Three modern leaves of handwritten descriptive information in Italian were laid into the manuscript and are on file in the Library.
